grahamffc Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yes it was hot, for four days but does everyone really need to go on about it now that more than a week has passed? I'm in no way singling anyone out, I have read mulitple references to it in the news all this week. Now it is back to normal, highs of 19C here in Melbourne today, strange how no one seems to mention that 90% of days that are on a par with the UK weather wise.

grahamffc Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Trust me, I'm sick of hearing about it but it's near impossible to avoid, it's still mentioned on TV, in newspapers, by people at work...all completely out of context too. For example I was reading about the tennis in yesterday's paper and the opening paragraph was about how hot it was 7 days earlier. Bush fires aside, which of course are terrible, I fail to see the need for such hysteria, we should be able to cope with 4 days of 40+ weather. And if people really do find it difficult spare a thought people in the world who live under such conditions every day, or asylum seekers locked up in Nauru with no air con, no fridge full of cold drinks, or freezer full of ice cream etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to bad here today and as you said loving the change while it lasts. Picking bucket loads of fresh tomatoes, re potting plants etc, but the reality is i dont cope with the heat so i needed to find a solution before Monday and thanks to you i did.

HappyHeart Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 My evap is struggling to get the temp down below 27 though only 32 outside. Humidity is what evap doesn't deal with well. Humid today in Perth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humid today in Perth Yep thats what we found. Despite what "some" may think, i find the heat wave issue interesting from the perspective of "is our climate changing" some say yes and some say no, but going back many years to when i was in school it was taught that if the world "over heats" it can trigger a mini ice age and one has to wonder if that is the start of what we are seeing in the US and Canada. Sorry Grahamffc, i have no intention on limiting my search for knowledge or information on this subject simply because some find the information annoying.
